I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Alipay (Sunnyvale, CA) in Nov 2023
Interview
In Chinese. It was really hard for a NG candidate. They asked me some questions really deep and dig into one area, even after that I said I don't know.
Overall, the interview was conducted from a multidisciplinary perspective, covering Java, Spring Boot, DB performance, REST API caching. The depth of the questions will highly depend upon the interviewer .
